Harvard Chinatown Citizenship
哈佛中城入籍班
Chinatown Citizenship is completely staffed by student volunteers,
mostly undergraduates from Harvard, M.I.T., and Wellesley, but also
graduate students and alumni. Our tutors prepare students for the
naturalization exam by reviewing basic English, teaching basic
American history and civics, and practicing conversational skills for the
oral interview. Most volunteers are bilingual in Chinese and English, but
some of our most dedicated tutors speak little or no Chinese. Although
none are professionally-trained teachers, the effectiveness of our student
volunteers is a testament to their enthusiasm and dedication.

A.5 Verbs (动词)
么词得不一学习 100 题时会发现很多在不同的句子里拼写略有不
同。是因中文不同,英文中同一个词常因人生作的时间不同而采取不同的
形式。在里,助更好地理解入籍考问题,我们对词时态做一非常大致的
Present tense (一般)
指作生在时间,或者形容久不状态
如:第 2 What does the Constitution do? It sets up the government. 法起了什
作用?建立了政府体制。里用的是一般does sets),因为宪法的
作用是久不的。
又如,第 9 What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence? 立宣
内两项权利。)同样这里仍使用一般are),因为问的是立宣言
利。
于大多数词来说,使用一般,要的人加以区别地,如果主
是第三人称单数(他//后要加 s是很多同在回答 100 题时
忽的地方。
如:第 2题应回答 It sets up the government. 注意 set 后面的 s it (此指
法)是第三人(即不是/我)单数(因为宪法是一样东西)。
Past tense (一般)
通常后面加-ed。指作生在时间
如:第 59 Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived? 洲人到之前是
住在美?) 里用了lived),因那些人是以前住在美
去的事了。
又如,第 62 Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? 立宣言是谁写
9
的?)同里用了wrote write 是一规则词)。因
为独立宣言是以前的。
Verb Conjugation (词变)
